Synthesis and Characterization of Eco-Friendly Clay Nanomaterials Doped with Co2P2O7 for Sustainable Construction

2026Open accessIbn Tofail University

Abstract

By examining a novel nanomaterial that has been modified for use in sustainable construction, this study primarily responds to the growing need for environmentally acceptable materials. The primary goal was to improve the functional and aesthetic qualities of building materials by synthesizing and characterizing environmentally friendly clay-based nanomaterials doped with cobalt pyrophosphate (Co2P2O4). The authors employed contemporary experimental methods, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological characterisation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) for molecular bonding assessment, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for crystal structure research. The published findings show the doped nanomaterials’ potential durability as well as their structural integrity. An economic assessment is part of the investigation. The study is noteworthy for emphasizing the potential of cobalt-doped pyrophosphate nanoparticles as eco-friendly colour pigments for construction materials made of clay.
